SHOAL CREEK NEWS
We have had some rain the last
few days but it will take a lot
more to start the springs again.
Soon be time to wedge the
handle in the old axe and go
cutting wood. More work on a
fellow but there is one consolation
when the weather is cold, snakes,
mosquitoes and house flies are no
trouble.
We understand Uncle John and
Aunt Malissa Turner were married
last Sunday.
We would like to say something
nice to everyone who gets married
but we are scarce of big bighfalut
ing words. We undertook to say
something big once when a fellow
married, and here’s what we said:
Good morning. Well. I understand
you are married. And after be¬
ing assured he was we shook hands
with him and told him he ‘shore’
had our heartfelt sympathy. The
way the fellow looked at us we
knew we had used the wrong big
word.
And then we told one poor fel¬
low he had our congratulations
when his poor old mother-in-law
died. What a blunder, Oh! me.
W. M McGhee’s new will shel¬
ter which has been under construc¬
tion for some time has been com¬
pleted and the architect has a con¬
tract cutting cord wood. Funny
how some men go from one good
job to another.
School will start at Shoal Creek
school house next Monday so we
are informed. Let’s stand behind
our new teachers. Go out Monday
vntHunig and give them a welcome.
CIRCUIT NOTES

Creek next Sunday at it a. m., at

day morning and night.

ford, will assist the pastor in the

Church. Rev. Harris is one of the
best of our young preacher. He is
the son of the Rev. S. A. Harris,
P, E. of Dalton District.
We had a splendid meeting of
the Laymen at Loudsville Camp
Ground last Sunday, though the
brethren at Loudsville for some
reason did not take much stock in
it. A splendid address was de¬
livered by Prof. A. T. Wilson on,
Religious Growth and Citizenship.
He was followed by others of the
brethren who made short talks.
Every Methodist Layman ought to
get buck of this movement it means
a great deal for your church and
county.
The parsonage b oar< l of trustees
will meet nt tRe parsonage next
Sunday Qct. u, at 5 p. in.
We earnestly request that every
Sunday School Superintendent,
who has not already done so, will
take up the collection for the Or¬
phan’s Home as soon as possible,
let’s make it a good one too. If us
some people say hard times are
ahead, all the more reason why we
should help the orphan and the
fatherless.
Although it is not church news,
I think it ought to be an inspira¬
tion to us to know that the Masons
of Cleveland have sent $50 to
Macon to help erect at Alto a cot¬
tage for children afflicted with T.
B. "Inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these ye
have done it unto me.”

Several from here attended the
singing convention at Bethel last
Sunday and report that they had
good singing.
Mr, Ted Satterfield is now haul¬
ing crossties from the Pink moun¬
tain to the station here.
They have been singing: "Taint
gona rain no mo,” for some time,
but we had a good rain last Friday.
These rains will help the late crops
and pastures.
Messrs. C. II. Thurmond and J.
N. Blalock are done making syrup.
Messrs. Will and Charlie Blalock
hsve moved their saw mill up near
the Horse Range mountain and
will saw for Mr. J. C. Ledford for

Mr. Louis Robertson is now put¬
ting a large quantity of pulp wood
on the market.
Several from around Yonah have
entered Cleveland High School.
Some will tell you to sow clover
on your poor land but the most of
us know that it will not grow
there. The cow pea will grow on
these lands where nothing else will
grow.
Mr. Tollie Jackson, of Hall
Caunty, was here recently on his
way to Reservation for a load of
apples to haul to South Georgia,
Some have told us the reason
some of our boys grow so high is
that they are continually looking
up and stretching themselves in
order to see the sun. It is related
that there were one "suck back”
in our mountain cove ; I hut never
saw the sun until lie was about ten
years old.
Several of our people have been
driving their cattle in from the
Blue Ridge. The cattle are not
lat for the range has been poor.
Education mean to know what
you have and to know what to do
with it. If you do not know how
to apply your talents you are not
educated. No information given
or jeceived in school is education
until it is applied. The world
never asks the boy ; what do you
know, but it asks; what can you
do. No knowledge is worth the
having that does not strengthen
his ability to do. No knowledge
should come to the young mind
and reduce its quickness, accuracy
and exuberance except that knowl¬
edge which tends to strengthen
him in his ability to do.
A great part of the multitude of
people never seem to be satisfied
for they are like the ceaseless, rest¬
less ocean. In the ancient city of
Athens there was one man who
had found the Rosetta Stone of
contentment. He was Diogenese
who sat in his tub on the streets
and conversed with the passersby.
When Alexander the Great visited
that city he told Diogenese tha t
he had often heard of him and
asked hint what he could do for
him. Then Diogenese told him to
please get out of his sunlight then
he said if he was not Alexander he
would be Diogenese.

Motorcade to Neel Gap
Gainesville may have been slum¬
bering, but she is thoroughly
awake now.
For the past few weeks the ciii
zens of the "Queen City of the
Mountains” have entertained good
road boosters and motorcades galore
Gainesville’s paving program
has astounded the cities through¬
out the nation.
Their latest manifestation of a
united and enthusiastic public
spirit was the motorcade to Neel
Gap for the students of Brenau
Collsge Monday afternoon.
The motorcade consisted of 110
automobiles in which 550 beautiful
young ladies representing 32 states
and members of the college faculty,
spent two hours in viewing the
wonderful and inspiring scenry
at the observation platform. This
assemb'age was one of the most
colorful spectacles ever massed in
the mountains. It might be better
stated in the words of Henry Estes
‘ a lot of concentrated beauty.”
The motorcade was sponsored by
the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs and
had the full supporj of the citizens
of Gainesville generally, and the
outing was a decieed success and a
remarkable piece of fine advertising
for Gainesville and this section of
the Georgia mountains, as most of
the students announced their pur¬
pose "to write to the folks back
home all about.”
Iced drinks and delicious moun¬
tain apples were served at the gay.
